Welcome to our latest edition of Digital Wealth News! We have SUCH an interesting line up of content today, from incriminating quotes from the past from the past form the likes of Paul Volker, Ronald Reagan, Jamie Dimon and more (great read) to wealthtech tools all advisors must have in their tech stacks to $500M(!) VC deals and more.

Since we are basically still at the very beginning of 2021, with almost everyone making predictions for what may or may not happen in the coming year, it might be a good idea to look back.

With some of these quotes, the government (and financial 'smarties') would rather you didn't remember them, but hey, they were the ones who said them.
